i'm sure you and a lot of people will be aware of the speech given by general wesley clark, where he talked about the united states a well, the west of getting to war with 7 countries. so there was a rock, lebanon, syria, libya to down. i think somalia, that's as i go on the one to know the last guy was there as well. yeah. yeah. they were gonna end up with the wrong. and that was that going to be the final country that they were gonna get. so will with and cause instability in. and then, you know, basically plug them to the assets and put in a little puppet. so we'll know the, we have a great opportunity to see how it all played out. and i think it demonstrates that the main problem with western decision making is well, to put in the diplomatically the shortage of strategic for side. because all those wars, 2 words in iraq, health, strength and iran, ultimately the meddling in syria empowered radical islam is groups like ice is unlocked to a huge migrant wave into western europe if either a worse or habits way in lebanon in iran, if it succeeded in toppling the range in government,

and i'm show you in a lot of people will be aware of the speech given by general wesley clark, when he talked about the united states a for the west of getting to war with 7 countries. so there was a rock lebanon, syria, libby, a sudan, austin somalia. that's as i go on the one to know the last guy was there as well. yeah. yeah. but did they ever gonna end up with the wrong? and that was that going to be the final country that they were going to get to war with, and cause instability in. and then, you know, basically plug into the assets and put in a little puppet. so we'll know about, uh, we have a great opportunity to see how it all played out. and i think it demonstrates that the main problem with western decision making is well, to put in the diplomatically the shortage of strategic for side. because all those words, 2 words in iraq health strength and iran ultimately be meddling in syria empowered . radical islam is groups like isis and a lot to a huge migrant wave into western europe. if either a worse or habits way in loveland on, in iran. if it succeeded in toppling the range a

however, i do agree with naftali bennett and others like general wesley clark that there needs to be a disproportional response to this attack. this unprecedented attack on israel. i mean, we're in this with them. >> the united states and israel, our close ally. >> they are fighting against authoritarian regimes just like we are and so the israelis need to build a coalition including the united states they need to continue their offensive operations in southern lebanon. but i believe that they need to take out the nuclear facilities of iran because they're going to continue to develop these facilities. they well and the fourth thing i'd recommend is that they need to continue to they need to take out some iranian energy infrastructure. they need to take, deliver some hurt to the iranian people to put pressure on the people though hopefully over to overcome this brutal authoritarian team. that for the last 40 years has been driving this train secretary, let me just ask you in the context of this nuclear program, right? >> us intelligence assesses that iran is two weeks away from getti

. >> i want to bring in former nato supreme allied commander general wesley clark, general, as we're waiting for this press conference. first of all, what's your reaction? these strikes barak ravid was on the program earlier talking with wolf blitzer talking about the israeli cabinet meeting, discussing the potential options for israel to strike at, at iran. what would those be? what would that look like? >> first of all, international, i'm really surprised that iran did this. the united states warned him not to do it the iranian government is very weak. it has a nuclear program. it's been fearful that the israelis would strike and take that nuclear program out or said it way back and they had every inch shouldn't not to strike. so they did strike. israel now is faced with a quandary. do you accept this as sort of a fait accompli and stop or do you go back and let's listen to anthony blinken, secretary state of trouble and the entire world should condemn it initial reports suggest that israel with the act of support of the united states and other partners, effectively defeated this a

are saying it can't be proportional because what happened demands a very you know, as general wesley clark said on our air, escalation dominance. but again, the key question is, and then what you know, the underlying issues. there's no plan, no political plan, no resolution, no settlement to all of this moment of unprecedent. let's just play one scenario out here. obviously you have striking energy facilities nuclear facilities, and you talked about some of those, but when you also talked about taking out ahead of the regime and that there is a push and you hear that from the former prime minister bennett and others, right? sort of a more of a unity within some in the israeli government than we have seen seen in recent months. and when you start hearing things like taking out iranian leadership and regime change that is a totally different thing that is, that is something that we have never heard before, not openly, not in circles like this. if something like that worked to happen in your mind, christiane, how do you answer the question then mean the wider war is here and it's either a bal

shawn turner a former director of communication for us national intelligence and also general wesley clark, the former supreme allied commander of nato. general. let's talk about us involvement in just a modal. so heard you say that israel's response now to the barrage coming from iran should, should be disproportionate. the white house view, those seems to not be that they seem to think that netanyahu can't afford it to be anything but proportionate. explain what you see here. >> so the psychology in the region looks at the united states. our adversaries, they're look at the united states. the united states is as always power, but it's afraid to use it why is it afraid? it's week. they don't look at the cape thing. they know us military strong, but they look at it administration's, their weak, they're afraid to use it and inside iran, we know that there was a debate between the president or the hard hardliners in the revolutionary guards, who said, don't worry america is not going to come in. we have to strike hard. let strike hard now. and they won that debate show. now they've tried to
